A ₹48-crore multi-level parking complex sits largely empty years after opening, while nearby surface lots remain jam-packed; its floors are instead used to park municipal waste vehicles, bicycle-share cycles and a private vendor's taxis.
On record
The official record states: "Deputy Mayor cited "lack of public awareness"; a councillor called the facility "a huge financial burden" on the cash-strapped corporation."
Filed as "Still standing (barely) / grossly underused" and dated to Built 2016, this entry sits under the "₹48 crore" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- A ribbon-cutting photograph that aged faster than the structure.
- Maintenance records that exist in principle.
- A budget line that grew with the confidence of the project itself.
- A file number that outlived several transfer postings.

Visitor reviews
“Came here instead of the museum and regret nothing. It was clearly value-engineered until the value left.”
“Found it by following a group of equally confused tourists. The foundation stone has outlasted two governments.”
“Visited after an argument about whether it actually existed. It relieves congestion the way a second problem relieves the first.”
